Abstract/Description

Outlines the attempts made over the past few years to develop the financial services required by Kiev City Council to function as a privatization authority. Looks at the privatization programme, the authority responsible for the transfer of ownership and the role the property management division of Kiev City plays in the economic reform and liberalization of Ukraine. Examines the financial aspects of property management, real estate registration, evaluation, land taxation, leasing agreements and the use of receipts from the transfer of ownership. Presents discussions which aim to reflect the developments currently taking place in Kiev City to transform the property management division into a structure that allows it to function as a privatization authority.
